I am still in America now. I am sending good time in there.Tomorrow, we will go N.Y.I really like America and American people! My host family, Rollins are very nice family :) They are my second family!And Michalek family and other friends are also so nice.
I have very good time in America but I am thinking something what my English skill is so bad.I want to said something but I don't remember the English words. It make me irritate.I want to talk with friends more, but I don't know what I should talk about. I could find many English problems in this trip.
I like to study English, but I can't remember the words, grammar and so on. However I should study more. I am studying English in my room in the every morning. but I can't say "I did study a lot" because I don't remember a lot. I have to take TOEFL (Test of English a Foreign Language) in March. So, I will study hard.
And I have the other problem. I really want to go abroad. However, my parents disagree with me. They said me you don't need go. But Going abroad is my dream, so I have to persuade them. I can't understand why they say no. I will try it again and again.

Then, I had to go my grand mother's house in Fukuoka, Yame. I used to expressway. And after 50 minits, I arrived at her house. My famiry and grandmother were waiting for me. And they said me welcome back! Then, I ate Soba for dinner. It was 11pm after finished eating soba. Then, I watched Kouhaku with everyone. It was so nice.

My sister and I went to Youme Town in Kurume. And we enjoyed shopping. I bought some clothes. I didn't go shop so long time, so I was happy to buy. And also she and I bought a cake and a present for grandmother because January 1st was her birthday. She became 80 years old. We thought a lot for present because we didn't know what she want.

I know this story. When I was kid, my mom always talked about this story. So I wanted to read this book again when I found this book in the our school's library. Then I borrowed this book.
This book tell us some important things. Harry who loved running is rabbit. And Tom who didn't do any practice for marathon. Harry practiced very hard. However, he couldn't get win because he became a lazy at last. And he thought "Tom is so slow, so I can be winner even if I ran very slowly."
And Tom didn't practice but he did his best, so he could win. I think he never give up! I think it is not good for us to do not practice. And also it is not good what we will be relieve and think we can do! I mean, we have to do our best from beginning to end.

When I went to library, I found this book and I wanted to read this book, so I rented it.
I know this story before I read this book, but I never read or listen to this story in English. Therefore, I could feel different mood from this book. I become very sad because Ugly Duckling was very poor. He didn't do any bad things. However, everyone doesn't like him. And everyone said "You are so ugly ".
Is it ok? If you were other duck, you would also think about that?
I think it is bad matter because everyone has different things with other. So Ugly Duckling is not Ugly, just different. I think people is also same.People has different things of body,character, thinking and so on with other people.It is not bad different even if they have different things. It become special point for themselves. Therefore, we should understand every one's different things. Then we can understand each other....

I used computer at first when I was 4th grade in elementary student. I didn't know how to use computer then. But I started learning computer when I was junior high school. I had to take Industrial Arts and Homemaking classes. Then, I had to learn computer. I
didn't like to learn it because it was very difficult for me at first. I couldn't type well and I didn't know anything. I have learned computer until then. Now, I can do anything with computer!!
I will introduce what I do on computer now.
First, I often use computer when I have to do homework. If I didn't understand something, I always use Internet. They have many information, so I could understand some thing which I couldn't understand easily. It is good way for me. And we had to write blog on computer in writing class, so I use computer every week. When I write blog, I always look for photos in Internet. I like to find photos because it is very funny :)
Second, I often think I want to buy something, but I am very busy girl, so I can't go to shops many times. Then, I use computer and Internet. And I always buy something on Internet. It is so nice because I don't have to go shop and I can buy something in house! Some people say it is not safety, but I think it is safety if we use good website. I always use good website. Therefore, it is very great. And I can enjoy shopping on Internet.
Third, I have American friends. Of course, they live in America, so I can't meet them a lot. But we can talk together on email. We live in far away. However, if we use computer, we can keep in touch. And I use YouT
ube because I can put move on there, so American friends can see me and other my friends. And I also can see them if they put move on there. When I see it, I become very happy. I really like to look it. One of my friends make songs and he send me it on email, so I can always listen his songs. Sometimes, I think that we are in very near town because we can contact a lot each other.
Finally, I like to listen to music. Therefore, I use computer and I listen to music. If I found good songs on Internet, I download them on computer and then I put them on my phone. Then I can listen to music during go to school. And I look for the words of a songs if I don't know it. I can find out them very easily if I use Internet.
Learning computer is very very difficult for me. However, learning computer is also good for me because there are many good points. I have done many things on computer since I started learning computer. I would not know how to use computer and couldn't do anything if I didn't learn it. Computer is very very useful, so I think it was very good for me what I was learning computer. And I want to learn more about computer. Then I will use computer more well :)

November 29 I went to Ueki for part-time-job, tutoring at 6 pm. I taught math and Japanese. My student, Yaya who is 3 grade in elementary school didn't know difficult division like 1405 divided by 8, so I taught her it. I think she she is very smart becasue she understood it soon. At first, she asked me something, but she didn't ask me anything and she could do it at last.After finished teaching, I drove my car and I went to Kumamoto because my friend
s, Chie and Miyo were waiting for me. An hour passed and I met them. Then, We went to ジーラ which is 居酒屋 like bar and restaurant. (I think 居酒屋 = bar+restaurant)We ate a lot of things and we drink alcohol a lot. We enjoyed talking.... we didn't stop to talk. We were very funny, I think.. because we were dinker. We could very good time!I wanna go to there with same member again.
We started to go back Chie's house. I and Chie did 桃鉄 which is TV game. We love it, but I was very very sleepy, so I slept soon.... I am sorry Chie!
Next Day (November 30)We got up at 10:30am. And we did 桃鉄 again because we didn't finished it last night.
Then we went to zoo in Kumamoto. Chie's mom and older sister made 弁当 for us, so we brought it. We arrived at there at 2pm. And we were looking many animals. I love animal, so I could spend very good time. And then, we ate お弁当. It was very very good taste!!! I love dishes which made by her mom and sister. Thank you for cooking it for us!
I have to got back my town because I had part-time job, so I said "See you again" and I left.I went to part time job and got back own home at 9pm.

Do you know "Tonkararin"?
There is it in Nagomi, Kumamoto. But I think many people doesn't know it even if live in Kumamoto. I think it is very secret place.
Therefore, I will talk about it now.
It is kind of a cave or a tunnel. It is very deep and dirk. And it is very scary. There are many bats.
People made it by stones, but nobody knows why everyone made it now.
When I was kids, I went to there and I enter the tonkararin. It was very scary, but it was not narrow. I am interested in it because it is very very mysterious. I can't understand w
hy they made it. Some researcher tried to research, but they couldn't found out many things, so there are many questions on
tonkararin still.
I can't tell you a lot of things about it because it is difficult. I think if you are interested in it, you should go there and you should enter the it. It is very interesting but also scary. However, if you go there you can learn about many things. Then you will be surprised.
You can see pictures of it on this site.
http://inoues.net/ruins/tonkararin.htmlhttp://kofunnomori.web.fc2.com/index.htmI think you will think "I want to go there" after watching this web sites.
And this is movie.
I think you want to go there, right?
It is very good place if you want to know Japanese history.
Tonkararin has many secret things, but it has also very very important history in Japan.

I will introduce my soft ball team to everyone. There are 15 or 20 members in my soft ball team. I wasn’t thinking about join soft ball team. Of course, I didn’t know about soft ball very well. And I didn’t like it a lot. But one of my friends Shyo invited to me.
One night, I get email from him. And he said me “let’s eat out with us!” Then, I and Risa who is my friend went to restaurant with him. And he talked about soft ball team. He wanted to make soft ball team. And he asked us "You guys, will you be a team secretary?" Then, we were thinking about it a lot because we never do that, so we were worrying if we can do that. However, he said us “it is easy. Don’t worry! You can do that”. So we decided to be secretaries. Then we started spending time as secretaries.
First, we gathered members of team. There are many friends who want to join this team, so we could gather member easily. Then, we decided to first practice day. We worried if members come to ground which we would do practice. But many members came to there and we could practice soft ball at first. We knew each other because we were same elementary school or junior high school. Therefore, we didn't need to introduce ourselves. Our first practice was very very bad. We didn’t know what we should do then. So only time passed. After practice, we were thinking what we should do at practice with everyone. Members said their opinions. And we do our best for soft ball.
Now, we always practice every weekend. And we are thinking about make uniform and join some games in our town. Our team is still weak, but members are very nice. And we are very very good friends. Not only practice with team, we also hang out together. We often go to bowling at Friday or Saturday nights. Of course, there aren't many girls. Girls are only I and Risa. However, we can spend very very good time with them. I think because boys are very nice persons as friends. I really like spend time with soft ball team.
I thought I can't have good relationships with boys until high school student. But now, I think I can have great relationships with boys. I was known it by soft ball team. We enjoy to play soft ball and to hang out together. It is not reason if we are girls and boys. We can have great relationships without regard to sex or age. My mind changed after became team secretary like that. I think I am a lucky girl because Shyo asked me if I become a team secretary. If I didn't become it, I would never change my mind, so I want to help soft ball team as a good a secretary even if I become older like mom.

I met Chinatsu who is my best friend. Now, I will introduce her :)
I moved to K******* from F**** when I was 5 years old. Then I went to new preschool. I met her at first time. I didn't talk a lot with her, so I didn't know about her a lot. I and she entered same elementary school. And I knew we live in near house, so I got back home with her everyday. We talked about a lot of things such as "school", "love", "friends"and so on. We always hung out together. We entered same junior high school and we belonged to same club. Therefore, we were always together. And we went to same high school, too!!!!!!! And also WE BELONGED TO SAME CLUB again...ha-ha :) We went to many places when we had a time. We spent very good time together.
However, I entered different University with her. Her University is in F*****, so we can't meet each other a lot. But we are sending email or calling each other.
Therefore, I was so happy to meet her today. We went to restaurant and we ate lunch. We talked many things. We didn't stop talking because we had many things which we wanted to talk. And we ate 葡萄パフェ for dessert. It was very good taste.
I think we are are very very good relationships even if we are live in far away. I want to keep this relationships forever!

It was very very noisy, so neighbor, Gloria called Miranda.... So Miranda noticed what happen in her house. Then she went back soon and she asked them. She was very very angree.
Miranda asked her husband "I want to divorced you"... Daniel persuaded her, but she wouldn't say no. Therefor, he couldn't stay with his children everyday and he couldn't stay at thier house.
He was looking for new job for their family, but he couldn't find it soon. Finally, he got new job which is very hard job. And then, he heard what Miranda was looking for a home help for her kids. Daniel wanted to meet children a lot, so he decided to become their home help with funny idea. He good at changing voice, so he called her about it as some woman. And he played bad woman. Then he played great woman named Euphegenia Doubtfire. He passed interview with her. And she decided to her as a home help...... Then..... Daniel was doing job as Euphegenia Doubtfire......
It was very very funny. But I was thinking about something about family. My family is very very good.There are five people in my Japanese , dad mom, older sister and older brother and me. My dad is very good person. He goes to work everyday. But if he have holiday, he take somewhere to us. My mom is very very funny. Her smile is the best in the world. I am respect for my parents. And my sister is scary for me, but she is also good person!!! I think she is smart. And she is good at cooking. Her dishes are very nice. And My brother is great guy! I and he is very very good relationship as good friends. We always talk about school life, love, future and more. I can tell him everything. I think he is my brother also he is good my friend!I like to talk with my family when I go back home. If I get probrems, I talk with them about funny thing. Then I will be able to be happy. They make me very very happy.
What is the most important in family? I think smile is the most important in family. It was very bad mood in "Mrs. Doubtf" at fast. Husband and wife didn't live in friendship. I think it is very bad for their children and theirselves. My dad ane mom are very very good mood. So we can spend good time with family. My family make me happy. I think I need family forever.
And also I was thinking about me. Daniel was changed by family. I think it is very good things. I am changing now. I am changed by my dream. My dream is big dream, so nobady knows if it come true. So I thought I have to change my mind and I have to study more. Daniel wanted to meet his children more, so he could change. Therefore, I want to grant my dream, so I can do that. I thought what is the most important in my life when I watched it. My dream is very very important. And it is very very important for me to think "I NEVER GIVE UP".
I could think about many things when I watched this movie. If you don't know what is the most important for you, I think you should watch this movie. Then, you can find something for you. I thought I had a really good time for thinking about me and family.

I will talk about "Communication".
I am studying English now. I thought I want to communication with other countries' people when I was child, so I decided to study English.
I met foreigner at first I remembered when I was junior high school student. But I didn't know English a lot, so I couldn't talk with her. So I studied English very hard.
When I was high school student, I went to America with a teacher and some people. I didn't think I can communicate with American people. But it was not true, I could! Of course, I couldn't talk with American friends a lot in English, but we could that with them because we didn't need language a lot. We could understand each other in our mind and body language. I learned then what we can communicate with American even if use English or Japanese.
But English is common language, so I can communicate with other countries' people if I can speak English more. So now, I am studying it a lot.

I read this book. When I went to library, I found this book. I like them. I have read volume 1, 2, 3 of this series, so I borrowed volume 4 which name is "Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying".
I have a time on the train when I go to school and go back home. Therefore, I read book on train!
Junie B who is main character looks cute girl, but also looks "Naughty Girl". She always says funny things. And I think she likes this words "Guess what's?". I know she likes this words because she always said that word when she got probrems.....So I remebered this word from this book.
She is very good at hide somewhere.. I can't to hide somewhere like her. I think everyone can find me soon even if I hide some where because I am not good at that.. And I could understand her mind which scene she wants to know where Ms. live in. I also wanted to know that when I was elementary school student. But I couldn't ask teacher like Junine B. I think she is curious about anything. In the future, I think she will be intelligent person.
I enjoyed reading this books. I will read book which this series.
I will read volume 5 this week :)

My host family, Taj nominated Dr. Seuss children books when I went to book store in America, so I bought Dr. Seuss Children book which name is "Fox and Socks"
This book's characters are very cute. I like Knox and Fox. It was written hou to use preposition at first. I don't like preposition. It is very difficult for me. I couldn't know how to use it, so I take it potluck to its when I use it.
I think it is very bad idea that Sue and Fox sews many things such as rose slow Joe crow's clothes and so on. I could understan why knox doesn't like that game.
Fox has many ideas, but it is all bad ideas. If I were Knox, I would be angry and hate Fox.....
And I think Knox is smart. I thought Knox doesn't do anything for him. Why he doesn't do anything for him? He doesn't angry? I was thinking about it. But he did something at last. He shut Fox into the bottle with tweetlw beatles!!!!
I think Fox is loser and Knox is winner!!
It was funny book

I like my room the best in my house. I thinki it is my favorite place.
But at first, I didn't like my room when I moved here from Fukuoka because it was very scary for me then. I was a very very young, so I thought it was very a big room for me. And I thought there were ghosts in there. But I don't know why I was thinking about them... I always spent times in my room with my sister. If I want to go there, I asked my sister or mother "Please come to my room with me, please." Yeees, I really hate my room then.
But when I was pupil, I become very very like. I didn't know why. I studied in there and also I played game there. My room became good place which I can play with my friend.
I didn't think what there are ghosts in my room without notice. And I could go to my room by myself then. Yes, I have never asked anyone since then even if I want to go my room.
Now, I really love my room. It is not scary!! My room is very very comfortable. There are many things like TV, bed, CD player and so on. If I want to sleep or listening to music, reading books.........I can do manythings in my room.
And also there are many pictures of me and friends and family which took in school, America, Guam........So, I can remember the very good memories if I am in my room. When I am spending time in there, I always listening to music and looking pictures! The pictures make me happy becasue I remembered good memories by them.
In the addition, there are many mickey mouse things! I love mickey mouse, so if I see mickey mouse in my room, my feeling become good. It healed my mind. And there are things which American friends sent me. When I see them, I rememmber many good memories in America also.
I think my room is the best in my house, so I love my room!!!! Do you want to come and spend time with me? HA-HA
If you come to my room, I think you will think what "I don't want to go back home" because my room is the best! This room's owner is also good

I found this book in my University library. When I saw this book, I thought it is looks good for me because it is comic. So it is very easy for me to read. This is the reason why I borrowed this book from library.
First, I thought this book's English are difficult, but it was not. I could understand words' mean. Sometimes, I couldn't understand English. However I could imagine because there were pictures.
I think this book's boy is happy boy because he got special power sooner. And also I think the doctor was very bad because he through the baby to outside...... Can you imagine it?! But it is OK :) It is not real story. The main character Billy is very cute but he is very very strong. I think he will be good guy!!!!
Any way, I like all the character of this book. I like bad character also. This story was very funny for me. I was laughed by this book. And I think this book is very very easy for Japanese people. so if you have a time, you should read it :)

In the afternoon, I and Jane, Chinatsu and Raisa who is Teddy's sister went to Baltimore. Teddy have to go job, so he couldn't go there with us.I and Chinatsu slept in the car. After 45 minutes(maybe), we arrived at there. Raisa went to University and we went to aquarium. I had a stomachache, so I was still tired. However, I was looking forward to go aquarium. I love aquarium.There were many fish such as shark, ray, jellyfish and so on. Turtles were so cute. I took many pictures.
Then, we went to shopping. I bought bracelet for me and Teddy. Teddy gave me bracelet, so I bought it to him. After that, Raisa picked up us and went bak home.
In the night, we went to American restaurant. Rickey, Cheryl, Jamal, Jane, Ted, Raisa and Chinatsu came to there. Teddy came there after few minute because he went to job. I ate shrimp pasta and drunk cherry lemonade. Its were very good taste. And American restaurant was funny because staff bringed to another juice again if we didn't ask them and didn't finish drinking own juice.
We enjoyed talking. And then we took pictures and we went out the restaurant.
After go back to the home, everyone didn't sleep until later. But Chinatsu and Raisa went to bad and slept. But I didn't want to sleep because I wanted to sleep on the plain, so I was sitting up with Teddy. He accompany me. He was very kinf for me. Thank you very much and I love you :)
I slept at 5:00am... maybe.. I didn't remember. Probabry, Teddy know when I slept.

I and Chinatsu got up at 9:00 and we got ready to go out. Today, we had plan in the morning. We went to Restaurant and met Jaquei who is Alun's mother. We had lunch and enjoyed talking. We didn't meet so long time, so I was glad to meet her again. When I leave restaurant, we took picture. I love her :) I want to meet her again.
Next, we went to Universuy in Maryland. We went to shop of University and I bought somthing. Then, we look around the University. There were food shops, theater, billiards and boring place and game place and so on. There aren't place like American in Japan, so I was surprise. And I couldn't believe that is University. But I like American University :)
After that, we moved to next University because we would take a classes. We asked professor when we arrived at there. Professor said OK, so we could take Nutrition classes. Professor was seems very good. Today was first class, so she introduced for classes. I couldn't understand that when classes started.... Professor talked with every students. It was different with Japanese professor. In Japane, professor speak alone. American Professor used game when students introduce. Japanese professor doesn't use game in my university. And American professor was very friendry. Everyone could ask professor anything. I can't ask professor in some classes in my university.I like American University's mood. Japanese University 's class mood is not good as America because proffesor and students are not friendry. I think that Japanese should imitate to America.
In the evening, we went to supermarket and we go back home. After that Ben came to Jane's house and we played harts. We became hungry, so we went to restaurant :) We ate Italian food and then, we went back home and we sang in the car.
Ben had to go back home because he had classes next day. Teddy and I and Chinatsu took him to his house. I and Chinatus didn't think today is last day we can meet him. Therefore, we didn't give him to letter..... (We l eft letter for him to Jamal after.)

Today, I will talk about My learning language history.
I was interested in English when I was elementary student, nine years old. One of my friends went to cram school of English. I heard about English from her, so I also wanted to go there and learn English. Then, I went to cram school of English every Friday. Entered the junior high school, I had a English classes. I was looking forward to attend it every week. I loved learning English. However, I stopped going to cram school because I was very busy to do club activity and so on. I stopped going to cram school, only I enjoyed learning English in junior high school. From then on I have studied English for 10 years.
When I was high school student, I entered English speech contest. It was very difficult to me, but it was very studied for me. And I could make many foreign friends in my high school because international community was very active and school had sister school in America. Therefore, I could talk with them in English. It was good chance for learning native English.
When I was second grade of high school, I had a Korean classes. My father was always went to Korean for his job and told me about there, so I was interested in Korea and took course in Korean. Teacher was not Japanese, he was native Korean, so we could learn an accurate pronunciation. I studied again and again because Korean was very difficult, but I wanted to understand it. Then, I get full marks in the test.
My high school had also sister school in Korea, so Korean students came to my school every year. I talked with them. This is also help me to study Korean.
I went on to college. I was first grade last year. I took manicures in many types. That were excited me, especially Spanish was great! I knew some Spanish words because I had a foreign friend who speaks Spanish and taught me it. I learned Spanish grammar and conversation. And now, I am second grade of college. I also am taking Spanish classes this year. There are only four students in Spanish classes, so we can learn more deeply than last year. Sometimes, I call my friend who I told before and I speak some Spanish. Then, she surprised what I could speak Spanish.
Finally, I started to learn Chinese because my father's friend who is travel agent said " Do you study Chinese? If you want to work in travel company, you should study it." I didn't think what "I want to be travel agent like my father' friend" at first, but I was interested in that occupation, so I decided to learn Chinese. There are two times when I study Chinese in a week, Tuesday and Friday. Chinese pronunciation is very difficult. It is no close to Japanese, English and Spanish. I think my Chinese skill is very very bad, but I am studying hard to master it. Then, I want to make a perfect score on the next test, so I do my best and I never give up.
This is the way my history of language. I am thinking now "I studied four language, but I didn't master any language....." Therefore, I want to continue to study English, Korean, Spanish and Chinese. Then, I become super woman who can speak many language!

In 2008, June 8th it is happen matter what kind bad matter.
Do you know Akihabara of Tokyo?
There are many electrical. There is one of famous city in Japan.
It is alive with many customers every weekend.
Many people come and enjoy shopping like this picture.
If we go there, we can buy many things like computer.
There is very interesting place.
However, June 8 was different. That day was also many people came to there. Everyone was shopping. In the noon, Truck came to there. Then, the truck which is operated by man slants into the pedestrians precinct. Three people had an accident with it.
After that, the man who drove the truck stab at many people with a knife.
There were bleeding from cuts on the body. Everyone pan iced. Some people were help injured people. Many police officers and emergency services came there. Akihabara's mood changed to bad. The matter was finally killed ten people and injured seven people.
Then, The policeman arrested him. He is 25 years old. He said "I am very tired to the world, so I killed people."
Everyone became sad. Some people were crying, and other people couldn't say anything. All in Japan doleful.
I couldn't understand him..... Why he killed many people? Why........
I can not forgive to him even if he has respectable reason why he did. Why he could kill many people? He is also human, so I think that he has same hurt with us....WHY? I became very sad when heard this news from TV. I was very shock this matter. He forget real hart.
He was smart. He went to school which is high T-score. He went to there but he didn't grow up to good human....
Recently, someone said "People who is smart is good." but I don't think so. When I became mother, I never said you should go school which is high T-score. I will say, Broaden the inside and become good human. "Smart people is equal good human" This words is not true. Real good human is also good inside even if not smart.

I saw the movie which title is "The Day After Tomorrow". Do you know this movie? It is important for us. This movie teaches me very important things.Now, I will introduce this movie.
Main characters are Jack who is doing research in global warming, Frank and Peter are helping Jack, Sam who is Jack's son, Terry Rapson who is scientist in Scotland. Minor characters are Parke, Brian and Laura and so on.
Jack thought "indicates runway warming pushed Earth into an ice age. And global warming is melting the polar ice caps and disrupting this flow". Therefore, He appealed for measure against global warming to everyone. However, everyone didn't believe him what about coming ice age, so they didn't anything. They should have acted soon for it..... Sam went to New York for quiz meeting with Brian and Laura.
The weather of Earth was a little changing. In Tokyo, the very big hailstones were falling. And other country had many hurricanes. In the addition, it had been raining in New York. After that, the Earth's temperature fell. Animals look different from everyday. Terry Rapson called Jack and tells him what the Earth is changing. One of their NOMAD buoys registered 13-degree drop in surface temperature. At first, they thought it was malfunction, but it was not true. There were four more across the North Atlantic showing the same things. Then, Jack appealed for it to Mr. Vice President again. However, he didn't still believe him.....
The weather was becoming worse. Sam and other friends couldn't go back home because train and plain stopped for weather. Lucy who is Sam's mother and Jack worried about him. Everyone ran for their life. Antarctic ice melted and New York has been affected flooding. Sam called his father, Jack and got advice from him what don't go out and wait for us. Sam had believed his father and had waited to their.
At last, the government believed Jack and put Jack's ideas into action. Then, the ice age was becoming. And Jack, Frank and peter left for New York. The car didn't move on their way, so they walked so long time. They were confronted with some difficulties........ What happened after that? You should watch after this.
I was thinking about global warming after watch movie. Recently, the Earth is having serious problems. On one hand the world is development of technology, car and so on; on the other, it leads up to the destruction of Earth. Practically, Mr. Fukuda who is prime minister of Japan is meeting about global warming with Africa. What we should we do? I think we should notice that consciousness of our Earth's limitations. We also have limit. And also Earth have limit. There is a limit to everything. We have to protect our Earth, or we won't live in the Earth near future. Everyone think "this story is fiction, just made it for movie......" However, it is not true. "The Day After Tomorrow" may our future if we didn't think about any things, so we have to take problems seriously. Everyone should watch this movie and think about now Earth' environment.

There are many subjects in my other classes. For example, international low, Chinese, Spanish and so on. All subject are very difficult especially Chinese. It is very very difficult. I can't understand some grammar, but I can understand Kanji. It is a little different from Japan. However no problem. I am interested in international low because it is very useful. It is very difficult, so I study hard. If I could not understand, I ask teacher. I changed my attitude beside last year. It is good. I am thinking what I want to know many things.

I bought this book when I was junior high school student, because I like this picture. This story was very sad, but it gave me power.
Weny and Will are brothers. They are very friendly. They are always play together. One day, Weny and Will were in a clash accident. Track clashed to them. They went to heaven, but they were laughing in there. They looked so happy. Why they were laughing??? I couldn't understand why they were laughing. Can you understand it??? They died.... Why they laughing because they didn't know that they died. Wenny strayed from Will on the way. He cried that " come back". Then Will returned this world. Will and Wenny's parents became very sad because Wenny died. What do you think about Wills' feeling? I thought he had complexity feeling because only Will survived the accident. After that Will decided to write letter to Wenny. He wrote letter everyday...... Of course he couldn't get letter from Wenny....
Wenny was happy girl because everyone loved her. If I were Will , I would be very sad and I couldn't anything...But Will did something for Wenny. He is very good boy. I never find out the boy like him if I look around the world.... If your brother or sister died like this story, what do you do?? I will just cry... I think.
I learned from this book what the meaning of living in this world. I want to live like him. I do my best for everything, and I never waste time.

I watch news on TV. They reported about police officer is in great trouble by annoying call. If we had a real accident, we call 110. However, it is increase what call for them by not precious accident.
For example, the woman called the police for ask help because her son doesn't eat any things, so she called them. And other example is so unbelievable. The young woman call them and said
" I forgot my house's key, please help me."
Then police man said "Where are you in now?"
"I'm in my house......" she said.
Police man said " It is OK, you don't need key".
After that she said
"NO,NO,NO, I forgot my key, so I can't go anywhere because I can't lock house with key if I go to some where........so, please help me..."
This is nonfiction. When I watched this news on TV, I wondered at it.
Normally, police offer help for person who has difficult probrem like robber, crash sccident and so on. However this case has increased recentry. I can't belive it and understand why everyone call police with easy probrem.......
What do you think about it?

I read this book. It was so interesting.
First, I thought it is good for Mark what he found a purse and met owner of it. Then I fortecasted that he and she would be boyfriend and girlfriend. However, I guessed wrong. At last, he said " I didn't want to meet her.
If I was in that situation, I would do same behave, so I could understand his feeling.

Do you know this movie? This movie's title is "The NOTEBOOK" .
I love this movie. I saw it last year. I didn't think that it is interesting, but I had interested in it. I don't know why I had interested in it. Starting watched it and, I was absorbed in watching it.
There were old man and woman in nursing home. The man was read book for woman. The man everyday met to her and read the book.
The book's content was love story. She was interested in that, so listen to it so seriously.......
The girl who name was Allie Hamilton and the man who name was Noah Calhoun loved each other, but they were separated by Allie's parents who disapprove of Noah's unwealthy family, and move Allie away. Therefore, They couldn't meet any more, so Noah sent letter everyday, but Allie's mom was not hand her it, accordingly she never got letter from him. After seven years, she met handsome young soldier named Lon. Lon loved her and made proposal. Allie said OK because she didn't know Noah send her letter. When she looked Noah in news paper, she wanted to meet him again before marry, so she did. Guess what?? What happen to her and him................ Yes!! She loved him again and also he did.
This story was told to older woman by older man. She remembered something and she said "Is this story your and my story?" Yes!!! This story is their story. She is forgot everything, of course about Noah, so Noah decided to talk about theirs. Finally, She remember about him...
I love this movie. Noah is so good man, I think. I never think about there are relationship with position for Love. Recently, some people worry about educational background when people chose boyfriend or girlfriend. I think it is a senseless behavior. Why some people judge to people by academic background and status and so on. I think that the academic background and the position, etc. are quite unrelated to judge the person. True love is to understand each other .
Any way, this movie was very good. I want to watch it again. If I have free time, I will spend for it. Please watch it if you have a time:D

This is the my doll. This name is Dirk.
I went to Washington D.C. when I was high school student. There were five people in my host family, Mom, Dad, older sister and younger brother. And also there was the dog, Dirk. It was very cute. I enjoyed trip in America with my host family and American friend. Then, I had to go back Japan. I didn't want to go back home, so I was very sad. After that my host family gave me presents, book, letter, T-shirt and doll. I loved all, especially, the doll was very cute. I loved it. It is looks like host family's pet Dirk, so I named Dirk. Yes!! Photo is Dirk of doll. Is it cute, isn't it?
My favorite doll is that now. When I am sad, I talk with him... Of course he don't answer, but it is O.K. I hold it when I sleep. It is so soft.
It is important for me, so I never part with it !!

I read this book. Title is "Junie B. Jones and Little Monkey Business". I like this series.
Junie B was heard about her new brother fro her parents. She thought "that too bad". I couldn't understand about why she didn't want to get new brother. I am youngest sister in my family, so I wanted to get younger sister or brother. If I got them, I was so HAPPY. Scene of Junie B and grandfather were waiting baby at home looks very funny. Her grandfather is so good. If I same do with Junie, maybe my grandfather would be angry...
Any way, it was so funny what Junie B thought "My new brother is real Monkey!" She heard about baby from her grandmother what she said that "Your new brother is the cutest little monkey I've ever seen!" Then, she told about new brother to her friend, Lucie and Grace. They didn't believe brother is Monkey, so Junie B told very definitely. After that, Junie B got many matters and she makd teacher angry. And she went to principal's room. I think Mr. Punishment is good teacher. I could satisfy what "real monkey's mean is just CUTE!" When I read it, I was smiled and I thought "Ah... I couldn't imagine like this. I just thought that mean is similar to monkey"
Junie B's conduct is very cute. I love her, but if she was my real sister, I would be angry for her....maybe... However, I like. I reassured myself about she understood about real Monkey and became happy.
I could enjoy reading this book. I want to be purely character like her. I became fan of Junie B Jones's book.
